(GIF) Barless Progress Bar

A countdown of bytes left to be processed, with less significant digits intentionally blurred out.

This gives an at-a-glance acknowledgement of things progressing forward and also allows easily understanding at which pace. In this shot, the transfer rate is - obviously :) - in megabytes.

(edit) Oh, and most importantly, this scales well for sizes from 1KB to 1TB and beyond.
